Rh Fourth: In the same way put a loop on the ring finger.

Fifth: In the same way put a loop on the little finger (Fig. 775).

hold it lightly. With the right hand pull down the string which hangs from the palmar side of the left hand, letting go the loop held

by the left thumb and index, and the entire string will come off the hand; make a squeaking noise as "the mouse (the thumb loop) escapes from the cat."
